Peanut Tillman says torn ACL was worth it

Just came across this article. Goes in depth of Tillman's love for the team, and how he found the positive in tearing that ACL. Love how he says he'd "do it again." Shows how our team culture is just the best. Can't wait to see him in pre game segments. 

Quote

“I was willing to tear my ACL for those guys,” Tillman said. “When you have a special team, when you’re in a room with 53 men who are very close and think the world of each other, that’s what you do. That’s the kind of culture that was set. I know I was only there one year, but within that year I believed in that culture. 


“If I could go back and do it again, I’d do the same thing again. I’d play on a partially torn ACL. I knew the cost and possibility of it tearing. I’d easily do it again to go to the Super Bowl.

...

“Charlotte showed me so much love. Carolina showed me so much love,” Tillman said. “It’s not forgotten. I know I’m not getting a statue like Thomas Davis, but Carolina showed me some love and I’m so grateful for them taking a chance on me.

now that he's with Fox, we're going to be getting some real love. 

Will this be the first pro-Panther commentator on a major network

He'd be the second. Steve Beuerlein commentates on CBS, but since we rarely play there he almost never is able to do it with us. Last time was I think the Raiders game in 2012.

Steve was salty af in the games I watched him call.  He was not very Pro-Panther.

I'm not going to say you are wrong, but that would surprise me. He retired with the team and during the Super Bowl this year that he was rooting for us; his "heart is with Carolina".

Its been a few years, he didnt like Cam or the direction of the team, but if you say hes on board now then welcome back Steve.  I didnt like having a reason to not like him.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
